Although the word is mum on the name of the film, or what stars will appear, there is huge excitement about the project that will film in Syracuse and produced by American High.

According to Mary Driscoll with AND Casting, they are looking for 2,000 background extras to appear in the film that will be shot the last week in August until the beginning of October.

"We are casting for the biggest film to ever shoot in Syracuse," she said.

The agency is looking for college students in particular, but all ages, genders, and ethnicities 18 years old and up are encouraged to apply, she added.

Extras are paid on average $170 a day for their work.
